Well, when I clean my turtle tank, use water and vinegar. Bleach is too risky for me, because vinegar is a natural disinfectant, I think it is safer.
Thats with a solution of shares of water 10 to 1 part chlorine to disinfect and kill parasites. Since his death Gecko (sorry), you can order and wash with a high concentration of chlorine, but be sure to wash all on the beach. How do you know that chlorine is washed every case and not the smell of chlorine. For the food and decorations, you must soak for at least 10 minutes before re-use again and also clean all traces of chlorine, because it is toxic to animals.
I have a milk snake in Honduras, the orange, red and black. and the smell can be a problem. I use a reptile cage cleaner I bought at a pet shop, but the smell remains. now so clean the tank with cleaner, a little bleach to the water. about one tablespoon per gallon. also, I also a special formula for treatment on site. Add one cup of bleach to four cups of water and pour into a spray bottle. Spray your carpet or whole article, then thoroughly with clean warm water. because chlorine kills all the bacteria in contact, and the smell comes from bacteria. then all the odor disappears more germs persistent. Happiness and your pet gecko, bye.
NEVER use bleach hard! Some people have suggested, but no! Chlorine is difficult to remove and may come to kill your animal. I want a pot and boil in water to take. for water at about 200 degrees Celsius, then he set a record. Every living organism dies, more than 200 degrees! if more parasites and bacteria!
Well, how can we escape our tank for my snake clean, empty, of course, then took a rag with water and soap. Clean it up, and soak for a few minutes in hot water filled. We pay a little chlorine in the water to be sterile. When you sit for 30 minutes, then rinse. I hope that helps everyone.

proper use of bleach and water in a bucket and use only tablespoons Clorox bleach, then take a sponge to clean, and I recommend the purchase of new plants, toys, huts, etc..

Frankly, if there is not much that happens, it seems that you go heavy on the bleach to be safe should get rid of all bacteria. I would say a 50/50 solution of water and bleach.

You can hydrogen peroxide instead of bleach. He leaves behind only water.
He said about 1 / 2 cup per gallon for 10 cups
Good luck!
